Group: 3
(Metro New York City/northern New Jersey Area)
This group has not been visited yet.
Not surprisingly, the New York City metropolitan area has numerous National Park Service sites. I clustered seventeen of them together into one group, including a few out on Long Island and one in Connecticut.
I expect I will be able to walk or use the subway between several sites in Manhattan, needing a car only for the few sites further out.
This may be another group where I use Amtrak's AutoTrain from Florida to northern Virginia, then drive on to the New York area.
